Necessity is the mother of delusion. For true love to exist there must be nothing that is necessary to it. Lovers have to live happily ever after, no matter what happens.

About This Quote

A true love story must be based on the fact that the protagonists are not predestined to live happily ever after. The heroes and heroines of such stories cannot be predetermined by the universe or some other force. Otherwise, every love story would be a preordained narrative. The danger of falling in love with someone is something that we must overcome and overcome again and again.

We keep falling in love until we find out that we will never be able to stay together. And then we realize that we will never be happy because we had to realize this truth before we could really fall in love with another person.
